The American Securitization Forum, the trade organization for asset-backed securities, held its 2007 Annual Meeting Yesterday in New York. While much of the discussion undoubtedly involved new guidelines and sub-prime mortgage lending, the asset-backed commercial paper market is always a large part of the agenda. ABCP currently totals $1.13 trillion, or 53 percent of the $2.11 trillion commercial paper market. (Money market funds hold about one-third of the CP and ABCP markets.)
